Her uncle Tenkaminen, a sorcerer and healer, chose his intelligent, beautiful niece as the recipient of his knowledge of herbs, spells and visions. But her impoverished father sold her into slavery. At a Charleston, South Carolina, auction house, Saleh was bought by George Leyland-a young, wealthy tobacco planter-who was captivated by her at first sight. Immediately, he changed her name to Sally and drew her into a life of ever-increasing humiliation and sexual brutality. Sally, her daughter Young Sally and her granddaughter Missy all suffered the same forced attentions from three generations of Leyland men. As the Civil War approached, these three black women were suddenly confronted with the possibility of using the confusion and dislocation of the tumultuous times to make a strike, each in her own way, for escape to the North ... and to freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA native of northern Ohio, HOWARD BOTT graduated from a military academy in Tennessee, where he encountered racial segregation, an experience that stayed with him all his life.
